Details

Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an
attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service,
spoof the mouse pointer position, obtain sensitive information, spoof the
contents of the addressbar, bypass security restrictions, or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2505, CVE-2022-36318, CVE-2022-36319,
